摘要:
A MOS device comprises a gate stack comprising a gate electrode disposed on a gate dielectric, a first spacer and a second spacer formed on laterally opposite sides of the gate stack, a source region proximate to the first spacer, a drain region proximate to the second spacer, and a channel region subjacent to the gate stack and disposed between the source region and the drain region. The MOS device of the invention further includes a buried oxide (BOX) region subjacent to the channel region and disposed between the source region and the drain region. The BOX region enables deeper source and drain regions to be formed to reduce transistor resistance and silicide spike defects while preventing gate edge junction parasitic capacitance.
摘要:
A process for fabricating an n channel transistor, which results in electron mobility improvement in the channel, is described. Sacrificial capping layers comprising an oxide and nitride layer are conformally formed over a polysilicon gate after source and drain implantation, and remain in place during annealing.
摘要:
Various methods for forming a layer of strained silicon in a channel region of a device and devices constructed according to the disclosed methods. In one embodiment, a strain-inducing layer is formed, a relaxed layer is formed on the strain-inducing layer, a portion of the strain-inducing layer is removed, which allows the strain-inducing layer to relax and strain the relaxed layer.
